Camel Coffee
This South Korean coffee shop chain might have “coffee” in the name, but many Angelenos come for one thing and one thing only – the matcha latte. And reviews say, “the hype is warranted.”
Camel Coffee’s Iced Matcha Flat White is more concentrated but still offers a light, indulgent, well-balanced sweetness paired with bright flavor. Fans say it still packs a satisfying caffeine punch despite its smaller size. And if dairy is not your style, they even have vegan cream!
📍 Location: 4459 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90027
Picnic Coffee
Picnic Coffee is a laid-back micro café tucked-away in Silver Lake. Even cooler, their organic Wazuka matcha comes from a tiny, shady, and foggy region in Kyoto that results in “smooth, milky, buttery matcha with no bitterness.” Now, they even offer a new seasonal Cherry Matcha crafted with house-made cherry puree, milk, matcha, and a maraschino cherry garnish.
